Everyone was not happy.

Currently Percy was facing ridicule from adults who didn't want their kids to look up to a Lesbian, random heroes who glare at her as she just walks around, and kids... well, kids were pretty accepting. Teenagers just honestly didn't care.

She was currently walking with KF (civilian mode) to get her mind off of it. 

"So how did you get the tattoo on your arm to look so defined?" He asked, trying to make small talk.

She didn't blink as she responded, "It was burned into my flesh in a ritual claiming my place in the legion."

"Oh."

They walked in silence for a couple minutes, just looking around the city.

"Do you want to go to a book store or something?" Wally asked, once again trying to make small talk.

"I'm dyslexic."

"Sorry."

"It's a great excuse for not doing homework."

"Can't you just get help? Or get a special assignment."

"I'm lazy."

They walked in silence once again, enjoying each other's company. 

They were just about to turn back to start heading towards the mountain, when there was a gun clicking down a nearby alleyway, with a little girl crying.

Nobody else was around, so Kid Flash ran into another alley and changed into his suit while Percy flashed into hers. They ran into the alleyway, and were surprised when there was nothing. Literally nothing. Not even a trash can.The fire escapes seemed to have been ripped out of the wall and thrown else where.

"What..?" Percy asked confused. 

A haunting voice called from the roof, "Well if it isn't the little heroes. I wonder what happens when the great hero realized they were lured into a trap."

A woman in a pink outfit was standing on the edge of the building. But her outfit seemed to be more for fashion than use. She had blonde hair, and blue eyes. The stereotypical stupid blonde beauty.

"No. Not..." Percy gasped, backing away.

"Yes. We're going to talk about your love life!" The woman squealed, hopping like a bunny.

"Wait a minute-" Kid Flash asked confused, "-Who are you?"

Percy just sighed before answering, "This is my cousin. Aphrodite."

KF just looked confused for a moment, "Why is she trying to kill somebody?"

"Oh darling," Said woman said, as if talking to an idiotic child, "I'm not, I'm here to get all the juice of Percy's relationship. Annabeth won't tell us anything during the meetings." 

"Isn't basically everyone mad at their relationship?" He asked.

"Sweetie, I'm the goddess of love, and I condone their relationship. Love is love after all. Besides, only like, 40% of the gods are actually straight. Apollo the least straight of us-" She stopped for a moment and tilted her head, as if listening to something. She started pouting and turned back to the heroes. "I'm afraid I have to go back to Olympus, but you will give me details."

She dissapeared in a poof of pink rose petals. The two heroes turned to each other, and started leaving the alleyway by roof top. 

"Wait!"

The call sounded strained, like the source was in pain. The two looked around, trying to find it, when they saw something lodged in a door frame. It was a little blue blanket, with the name 'Jayden' sew onto it.

They went through the door way, approaching carefully. A small figure was sitting in the corner, curled into a defensive ball.

When the figure saw them coming, it uncurled a little, as their faces were clearly visible.

"My mommy said to stay here. Can you stay with me?" The child said, a pleading look in their eyes. 

"Okay sweetie, I'll stay." Percy said melting.

"Where is you mom?" KF asked, looking around. for anyone else.

"I don't know, but she told me to stay here."

Percy frowned, "Does she leave you places often?"

"Yeah, sometimes she says my dad will come get me, but I haven't seen him yet."

Percy frowned again, before closing her eyes as if thinking. She opened them again, and turned to the girl, "I just called a friend, and she'll come to take care of you."

A eerie voice called from the back of the warehouse, "And I'm here to take care of you!"

The two heroes turned around quickly, getting ready for battle, while making sure the child was safely behind them.

Standing in the back of the warehouse, was the green-haired psychopath.

"I thought you worked alone," he remarked, "and here you are with a junior here."

"Oh just shut up." 

"Ooh, she talks."

"And she fights."

"And I'm here too!" KF yells out, feeling ignored. (Although that wasn't such a bad thing in this situation)

There was an intense staring contest between the tow heroes and the psycho in front of them. The child was slowly inching towards the door, trying to get out of the fight.

The Joker noticed the movement and turned towards the little girl.

"And such a sweet little muffin you are! Would you like to come over here and talk with me?" He taunted, scaring the little girl.

A silver arrow broke the concrete next to his face as a twelve year old girl leapt through the window, armed with a bow and arrow.

She glared at the men, gave an approving glance at Percy, and then she got the little girl and left, leaving the heroes with the Joker. 

"Now that the innocents are gone, what do you want?" Percy yelled, pulling her sword out.

"I just want the pleasure of killing you." He said, getting an even more insane look in his eyes.

Kid Flash scoffed, "As if. It's literally impossible."

"Well, it can't hurt to try." Joker said, throwing a trick bomb at them. Rainbows and glitter shot out, but when it settled, the glitter was attaching to every surface in large clumps, and the 'rainbows' were a toxic liquid that was eating at the floor.

Percy just walked through them, not even caring, and punched him in the face. He fell flat on the ground, and she handcuffed him, leaving him for the cops.

"Well that was anticlimactic." Wally said from the other side of the room, "I was expecting some sort of fight at least."

I am soooo sorry for not updating sooner. I had finals, and then I've been watching my cousins, and I've been really busy.

I am now out of school, but don't expect an extra updates.
